About
I am a CAD and manufacturing professional with 10 years of hands-on machine-shop experience. I am proficient in SolidWorks, Mastercam, and Verisurf, with practical experience operating CNC machinery, laser trackers, and portable CMM arms.
My manufacturing background allows me to approach CAD projects with a clear understanding of machining, assembly, tolerances, inspection, and production constraints. I focus on creating accurate, parametric models that are practical to manufacture—not models intended only for rendering.
My services include:
• SolidWorks part and assembly modeling• Parametric mechanical design• Production and manufacturing drawings• STEP, STL, and DXF preparation• Machined-component and fixture design• CAD/CAM and Mastercam support• Reverse-engineering support from physical measurements• Dimensional inspection and verification• Laser-tracker and portable-CMM measurement• Verisurf inspection and analysis• Design-for-manufacturing reviews• CNC production support
I use SolidWorks 2026 and can save compatible native parts and assemblies in SolidWorks 2025 format when required. I value accurate work, clear communication, realistic deadlines, and resolving manufacturing questions before files are released.
